I just got the 5500 and upgraded to the 2.6.20 kernel. Everything, including ivtv for the pvr350 and my ATI for TV-out is working fine. I cannot get the 5500 to work, and I am assuming I have to compile the pchdtv "v4l-dvb" code. When I do 'make', I keep getting:

[code]make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20.4/build SUBDIRS=/root/pchdtv/v4l-dvb/v4l modules

I have no idea where "linux/config.h" is at...nor how to fix it.

The HD5500 should be fully supported in kernel 2.6.20. Please do a

Code:

> dmesg | grep cx88

and post the results here.

I get the same problem. Not sure what not finding a header in the source package has to do with a driver from the kernel, but here is my dmesg output.

I am trying to get the IR blaster to work. I don't need anything fancy, as I will just be recording two or three IR commands and then playing them back from a program...no actual remote involved. I just want a way to control an external device that has a IR receiver.

I understand that my kernel already supports this (see below) but as I understand things, the pre-built drivers do not support IR, so I think I need to build them.

I deleted all references to linux/config.h as that file is now obsolete. Now I get a new error (see below).

So my question is, does the kernel support IR and if not, when will a set of sources be made available that will compile for my kernel?

I currently have the card working with mythtv right now, I at first didn't think i needed a driver since im running ubuntu 910, but the qualitys not that good and the stream its recording is huge (3 gigs per hour) I don't know if the driver will help with either but i thought id try

Make fail on 2.6.31.13

I ment to say I am having the very same problem as others and it seems clear we all need help with it.
